The Swine Plague

The losses from hog cholera in Indi-
ana alone for the past year are esti-
mated to amount to fully 100000.
And the destruction from it in the
other pork-producing states is reck-
ored to be equally extensive, nor is
the great seriousness Of the losses dis
posed to be questioned in any quar-
ter. Senator Van Wyck made a. prop
osition when the bill for the extirpa-
ton of the cattle disease was up be-
fore the Senate, that the legislation
in regard to that contagion should in
clude legislation for relief from hog
cholera also. But those most COM
petent to speak in the matter oppose
any such plan, for the reason that
pleuro. pneumonia is g. foreign disease
which has not yet widely spread itself
in this country, and, therefore, can be
effectually stamped out and kept out
by the employment Of prompt and
positive measures. The design lis to
prevent the spread of this c6ntagion
to the large cattle ranges, where it
would almost inevitably establish
itself beyond the power OF eradica-
ton. More than that, it is disease
that is thoroughly understood, and it
is definitely known how to proceed to
overcome it.
The swine plague is not so we'll un-
derstood, and therefore cannot be

Prepare for Harvest.

Work Is always pressing during har-
vest, help is nearly always scarce, and
when it can be had you are obliged to
pay good price for it.
In order to economic as much as
possible at g. time when each day costs
two or three time as much as g. days
work earlier in the season, by pushing
the work SO that everything is ingood
shape before harvest sets in, you can
get along with much less labor, and in
this way considerably reduce the cost
of your crops. On Western farms,
even with the improved machinery,
harvesting is not only hard work, but
requires considerable time, and that,
too, Just when the cultivated crops
need cultivating the most. And al
though it is always advisable, when
possible, to have the work In such
ap eat harvest time that these crops
can stand without cultivating during
harvest, yet when necessary to keep the
cultivator going during harvest, in or
der to receive good results, it is poor
economy 60 allow the work to stop
simply because wages are little
higher than before. We certainly do
not blame working man for getting
all he honestly can for his work and,
as at harvest time wages are always
higher, we can hardly expect the labor
er to work in the corn field for the
same wages he received month ear
ler. This, OF course, has reference to
daily keep. Men who hire by the
month Or year expect to do all kinds
of farm work as it comes.
Push the work of cultivating the
crops along as fast ais possible. By
getting these crops in the very best
condition considerable work can be
saved during harvest by this plan.
See that the machinery is in the
best order for work. Often much loss
is occasioned by commencing harvest
with machinery that is liable to break
down at any time, causing g. serious
loss, not only in being obliged to pay
for extra help, but often considerable
delay is occasioned IN getting repairs
promptly.
OF course accidents are liable to
happen at any time, and the best we
can do is to take all reasonable pre-
cautions against them. Thoroughly
overhaul the machinery and see that
everything is in good condition for
hard work. Procure good supply
of first. class oil, there is no economy
in purchasing poor oil because you
can get it g. few cents cheaper. See
that the harness is all good and
strong. AS nearly as possible get
everything ready, so that the work
can begin just as soon as the wheat is
ready. A very few days delay will
effect the quality as well as the yield,
and when prices are low this loss can
hardly be afforded. It is just as easy
by taking time and preparing ahead

nearly ready as possible when the
right time arrives.-N. J. Shepherd IN
